Wicked Ghost Hunters: Salem’s Paranormal Tour

Wicked Ghost Hunters runs Salem walking tours led by working paranormal investigators rather than scripted guides. The tours mix the city’s documented history with the team’s own findings from investigations inside reportedly haunted buildings, so guests hear about the EVPs, thermal footage, photographs and firsthand experiences the group says it has collected. The company pitches the tour as an alternative to ghost tours that simply repeat familiar local legends.

The team spent years investigating haunted locations across New England before making Salem its home base. Its members describe nights inside places like the Hawthorne Hotel, Old Town Hall, the Salem Inn and local cemeteries. Each walking tour lasts roughly 90 minutes to two hours and covers about one to one and a half miles. For a more hands-on night, the separate Salem’s Paranormal Investigation lets guests join the team inside an active location using K-II meters, audio recorders and thermal cameras.
